pattern is full, #279.
Unsubstantiated, unjustified, and unfair conclusion.
Correlation is not cause; human kind is designed to see patterns, but less well equipped to extract meaning.

Consider the incidents: https://www.icao.int/safety/fsix/Lib...plus%20add.pdf
All unreported via formal channels, modern well equipped aircraft, associated with ‘major’ operators, in different countries, but as might be expected the majority in the one with the larger number of aircraft.

Note incident #4, and particularly #5 soon after 9/11, and #7 and #8, close to home.

‘Stones and glasshouses’; or realisation that all of us operate in a very fragile environment which can fall in on us as happenstance; except on occasion, in the majority, we are able to intervene and manage situations as we perceived them, and achieve a sufficiently safe outcome.
